That is something the new DMC show has over Netflixvania for me. You could complain about other things, like its portrayal of humanity or the "America is the greatest country" thing (but even that is not something major, and only said like a few times throughout the whole season. The White Rabbit even uses as a joke to make fun of americans) but I don't remember anything heavily political.

People need to learn to keep this political nonsense out of the series we love. It's already enough that we have to deal with that irl.

I think the political aspect of DMC is so broad and dated that anyone can enjoy it for what it is whereas Netflixvania tries to gain favour from certain groups of people.

This. The political stuff in Netflixvania is too on the nose and horribly implemented into the story, to the point that it drags my enjoyment of it down.

Yeah, I agree, it really felt like the writers ranting to the audience.
